its not on demonstration .it is here to cover warranty repairs to the streetlites.whilst they are away back to wrights .

Has 1776 been in an accident before? It has the different Wright logo at the front, very clean inside and also it has the new Euro 6 Volvo dashboard?

Ive had a look today at 1776 and i cant see any difference from the other ones of that batch .

repaints are still suspended pending a decision from the bosses at birmingham .

Think that means there are no withdrawn vehicles at Dundee and that has cleared all the older 7xxx Volvo single-deckers. Assuming 7423 is still a crew bus and trainers 1366/7151 remain in use as such.

7067 is still in service ,part time trainer part time service .

they are all gone now.

Hope it drives better than their streetlites .

THERE IS A PHOTO ON THE DUNDEE FORUM OF A BRAND NEW STREETDECK FLEET NUMBER 3301 AT WRIGHTS . ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO ON IT?

 I thought of that but it cant be as they wouldn,t be able to sell them on .

how are these buses not dda?. they have everything that a gemini have .

nearly all the drivers here would love thre return of the scanias,they were far better to drive,but as tony said there is no dealership here for back-up the maintenance .

That just shows what they think of us .All these brand new buses for england and send the scrappers to dundee . :)

With the above withdrawals, there are 6 x B10BLE's left in service i.e. 7159 / 66 / 67 / 73 / 76 & 7179. I believe these have to be removed from service by 31.12.15 due to being none DDA compliant.

7159 Is also withdrawn .

when he was up here on a visit he was shown the new colours and took an instant dislike to the blue interior  and green seats .

dean finch the cheif exec didnt like the green with the blue interior.unfortunatly 7002 was already done .

From what i,ve seen it appears to be 2056 next . the DDs are being done in the same fashion ie lowest number first ,7004 is back on site today .all retrimed and painted .
